Springer International Publishing AG Management of Breast Diseases
Book SynopsisThis text is intended as a practical guide for physicians and surgeons who treat diseases of the breast, both benign and malignant. Thus, general surgeons, internists, family practitioners, gynecologists, surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and medical oncologists will find this book useful. The management of breast diseases requires a multidisciplinary approach, and this textbook therefore includes the views of a wide range of specialists from throughout the world. Today the treatment of breast diseases is largely predicated on the results of randomized prospective trials. The results of many clinical trials are discussed in detail, and readers will find this book to be a useful guide to the evidence-based treatment of breast diseases.The revised edition provides a comprehensive update of the previous version of the book. Specifically, it contains 2 new chapters: “Molecular Classification of Breast Cancer” and “Breast Cancer Molecular Testing for Prognosis and Prediction”. In addition, since publication of the previous edition, the results of numerous adjuvant systemic therapy and neo-adjuvant systemic therapy trials have been published, and this edition provides a comprehensive overview of these trials and discusses how they have changed the management of breast cancer. Similarly, there have been, in the last few years, important new developments in the local therapy of breast cancer. This edition discusses these new developments and particularly recent developments and controversies concerning the management of the axilla in patients with primary breast cancer. New guidelines with respect to radiotherapy are also reviewed and discussed. Finally, all chapters in the book are thoroughly revised and updated to provide readers with current understanding of the biology and treatment of breast cancer.Table of Contents1.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe
Book SynopsisDie sich rasch wandelnde Lehre in der studentischen Ausbildung machte es erforderlich, das K- zept der ersten Auflage gründlich zu überdenken. Die Texte der ersten Auflage wurden von Wissen, welches sich eher an Facharztanwärter richtete, befreit und inhaltlich überarbeitet und damit auf ein studentisches Publikum ausgerichtet. Zusätzliche Kapitel sprechen die wichtigen Notfälle, die Infektionen in der Schwangerschaft und gerade auch die Leitsymptome an, die in keinem Stud- tenlehrbuch fehlen dürfen. Gerade die Leitsymptome als auch das Fallquiz, welches das diagn- tische Denken vom Leitsymptom zur Diagnose bis hin zur daraus folgenden Therapie schulen soll, spiegeln den problemorientierten Lehransatz, welcher mittlerweile in den meisten Universitäten in Deutschland nach Einführung der jetzt gültigen Approbationsordnung Einzug gefunden hat, wider . Natürlich dient das Buch auch in besonderem Maße den Kolleginnen und Kollegen in der Weiterbildung sehr gut als Unterstützung, basiert es doch auf den klassischen drei Säulen unseres Faches: 1. Reproduktionsmedizin und gynäkologische Endokrinologie 2. Pränatalmedizin und Geburtshilfe und 3. Onkologie und operative Gynäkologie. Die Didaktik wurde grundlegend erneuert. Übersichten, Merke- und Cave-Auszeichnungen und die jedem wichtigen Krankheitsbild folgenden Zusammenfassungen bilden einen Rahmen, über den sich dem Lernenden das Wissen leicht erschließen kann. Zusätzliche Praxistipps bieten nützliche H- weise zur praktischen Handhabung, die später am Patienten sehr nützlich sein können. Die bewährten Fallbeispiele in den Kapiteln geben einen ersten Einblick in den Alltag im Krankenhaus. Wir möchten allen Kolleginnen und Kollegen danken, die mit ihrer entsprechenden Fachk- petenz als Autoren die entsprechenden Kapitel verfasst haben.Trade ReviewAus den Rezensionen zur 2.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG ACR BI-RADS®-Atlas der Mammadiagnostik:
Book SynopsisDieses Buch ist die offiziell genehmigte, deutsche Übersetzung des ACR BI-RADS®-Atlas in seiner fünften Auflage. Der ACR BI-RADS®-Atlas ist ein qualitätssicherndes Werkzeug zur Standardisierung des Berichtswesens, der Unklarheiten in der Befundung der Mammadiagnostik wie auch bei den Vorschlägen zum weiteren Vorgehen verringern soll. Er macht die Ergebnisse von Instituten wie auch von einzelnen Befundern vergleichbarer und leichter kontrollierbar und verbessert somit die Versorgungsqualität für die Patientinnen. Inhalt: Der ACR BI-RADS®-Atlas umfasst das Spektrum der in der Praxis etablierten und wissenschaftlich fundierten Bildgebung der Mamma und besteht aus vier Teilen Mammografie, Sonographie der Mamma, Magnetresonanztomografie der Mamma sowie Nachkontrolle und Ergebnisüberwachung, in dem das klinisch relevante Audit und das erweiterte Audit der medizinischen Qualitätskontrolle erläutert werden. Nach einem jeweils einführenden Kapitel zu den drei bildgebenden diagnostischen Methoden folgt ein Atlasteil mit klaren Angaben zu den diagnostischen Kriterien wie Form, Rand, Verkalkungen, Kriterien der Kontrastmittelaufnahme etc., die sich durch klare Definitionen und einheitliche Benennungen auszeichnen. Für jedes Beschreibungskriterium wird hochqualitatives Bildmaterial gezeigt. Danach erläutert jeweils ein Kapitel, wie ein Befund erstellt werden sollte. Ziel ist es, anhand einer klaren und eindeutigen Diktion ohne adjektivische Ausschmückungen die Malignitätswahrscheinlichkeit einer Veränderung einzustufen, die sog. Festlegungskategorien 0-6 nach BI-RADS®, und auf dieser Grundlage ebenso klare Handlungsempfehlungen zur weiteren Aufarbeitung auszusprechen, die vom Vergleich mit Voraufnahmen über weitere bildgebende Diagnostik bis zur Empfehlung der Gewebediagnose mittels Biopsie reichen. Eingehend werden die Unterschiede von Screening- und diagnostischen Kategorisierungen abgehandelt. Der Leser findet jeweils im Kapitel "Hilfestellung" praktischen Rat zur Anwendung der deskriptiven Terminologie der einzelnen Verfahren, zur richtigen Verwendung der BI-RADS® Kategorien und zur Konkordanz von Befund und Handlungsempfehlung, abgeschlossen durch ein Schlusskapitel mit häufig gestellten Fragen und den Antworten darauf. Am Ende der diagnostischen Kapitel stehen komprimierte Formblätter, die dem Leser als Vorlage zu seinem Befundungssystem dienen können. Damit geht dieses Buch weit über den Rahmen eines Atlas hinaus, es ist eine große normative Hilfe für alle Probleme der Screening- und der diagnostischen Bildgebung.Trade Review“... Es findet sich hochqualitatives Bildmaterial für jedes Beschreibungskriterium. … Ein gelungenes und umfassendes Werk, das mit den ausführlichen Erläuterungen, den Hilfestellungen am Ende eines jeden Kapitels sowie dem neu eingefügten Teil IV „Hilfestellung" weit über den Rahmen eines Atlas hinausgeht. Das umfangreiche, aber doch gut lesbare Nachschlagewerk ist sowohl für den Einsteiger als auch für den versierten Mamma-Radiologen eine große Hilfe in der täglichen Routine ...” (Dr.med.

Springer Physiology and Pathology in the Perinatal Period
Book SynopsisThe course of history is never one of smooth progression. Periods of relative quietness are interrupted by periods of wars and revolution. This pattern resembles that of a river which, before flowing into the delta, has to pass countless rapids. The same holds for the development of the science of medicine. In obstetrics some of these 'revolutions' or 'rapids' consist of the introduction of conservative obstetrical treatment by Lucas Johann Boer at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the discovery of the cause of puerperal sepsis by Oliver Wendell Holmes and Semmelweiss between 1843 and 1847, the introduction of the principle of asepsis by Pasteur in 1874, the introduction of prenatal care at the end of the nine teenth and the beginning of the twentieth century (Mijnlieff, Treub, De Snoo), the improvement of surgical techniques, the possibility to treat shock by bloodtransfusion, and, finally, the acquisition of new means for the effective therapy of infection. All these developments have led to a sharp reduction of maternal and perinatal mortality. In this connection it must be pointed out that such a reduction could never have been accomplished without the favourable social changes as a result of which medical and prenatal care could be made universally available. In recent years there has been another revolutionary develop ment in obstetrics. Two factors have been responsible for this: the ap plication of basic sciences in obstetrics, and the dissolution of the isolation with respect to other clinical disciplines.Table of ContentsPreface.- Gas exchange between mother and foetus and placental design.- Glucose metabolism in the foetus in physiological and pathological circumstances.- Intrauterine pressure and the human foetus.- Foetal heartmonitoring and biochemical examination of the child during labour.- Iatrogenic fetal hypoxia.- The influence of anesthetic drugs on the foetus and newborn.- The influence of anesthesia on the acid-base values of mother and child.- Treatment of asphyxia of the newborn.- The incidence and treatment of hypoglycemia in the newborn.- Panel discussion Part I.- Panel discussion Part II.- Comparison of ventilators for newborns and prematures.- Artificial ventilation of infants.- Pathological findings in ventilated newborns.- Summing-up.- Panel discussion.- Index of subjects.

Pan Stanford Publishing Pte Ltd Gynaecologic Cancer: A Handbook for Students and
Book SynopsisGynaecologic oncology is one of the most important subjects in gynaecology and a very challenging field. The management of patients with gynaecological cancers is complex, as the impact of the outcome of such cancers can be critical. This handbook covers the basics of carcinogenesis and the advances in the prevention and management of all gynaecologic cancers, including breast cancer. Gynaecologic oncology has always been perceived as the most difficult subject in obstetrics and gynaecology, but this handbook proves it otherwise. The text is presented in a systematic and easy-to-understand manner and is supplemented by plenty of images and illustrations and up-to-date references from established sources. The book also introduces readers to the new FIGO 2009 staging system and will be a very useful reference for researchers and clinicians.Trade Review"This comprehensive handbook covers the essentials of gynaecological oncology. The text includes all pelvic tumours as well as breast cancer, cancer in pregnancy, and fertility-sparing possibilities. It outlines well the complications of treatment with the basics of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This is a good book for the aspiring junior doctor to have as a guide for current clinical practice and to review before ‘that exam’. A well-worth buy!"Prof. John H.

The University of Chicago Press The Maternal Imprint The Contested Science of
Book SynopsisTrade Review"An outstanding depiction of the mutual constitution of science and society. Cleverly unpacking the complex history of scientific debates on so-called 'maternal impressions' (later, 'maternal effects') on offspring and future generations, author Sarah Richardson unveils the epistemological origins of concepts we take for granted today. . . . The book is an epistemological provocation, a reminder that science is a political enterprise, and an invitation to produce knowledge that empowers women instead of knowledge that makes them solely responsible for our collective future." * Science *"[A] rigorous academic study... Policymakers, health-care providers, and scientific researchers will want to take note." * Publishers Weekly *“Sarah Richardson’s book The Maternal Imprint… argues that social assumptions about maternal responsibility lend ideas in this field more credibility than they deserve on the basis of the data. Her argument will be interesting to researchers, pregnant nerds and policymakers.” * Nature *"Richardson explains and challenges much of what I (and probably you) take for granted about human pregnancy and the role of mothers in fetal development. Richardson brilliantly confronts notions that some women are 'bad mothers' who imperil the welfare of their offspring by not taking care of themselves sufficiently while pregnant. . . . The Maternal Imprint is a thoroughly researched, amusing, and confronting book that should be essential reading for anyone interested in epigenetics, infant health, and how these interact with race and social class." * FASEB Journal *"Enlightening. . . . What is particularly compelling about Richardson's approach is that by situating the field’s challenges in a broader social and historical context, we get a sense of why they matter. . . . In the likelihood that epigenetics might be used to explore the long shadow of our current trauma, Richardson's book offers an important lens through which we can regard claims about the role of maternal bodies." * Lancet *"The inheritance of acquired traits is not a heresy in medicine, but the basis of an enormously productive research program... Richardson puts this research in its historical context and takes a critical look at its basic assumptions, methods and conclusions." * Archyde *"In this volume, historian and philosopher of science Richardson... provides a historical overview and an analysis of debates, theories, and research about epigenetics and gene expression, spanning from Weismann’s expression of deterministic germ plasma theory in the late 19th century to current epigenetics and theory about the developmental origins of health and disease as articulated in the early 21st century." * CHOICE *"Beliefs about which specific maternal behaviors or experiences have lasting effects on gestating offspring have shifted widely over time. . . . [Richardson] gives this rich history a clearer context in the discussion of reproductive responsibility." * Harvard Gazette *"Richardson concisely and vividly presents how medical and scientific thinking about the contribution of mothers and fathers to the development of offspring developed. Richardson's thoroughly compelling book . . . shows the ideological complexity of modern science." * Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung *"The Maternal Imprint will be of interest to a trans-disciplinary audience in that it provides a historical critique of science that is well-versed in the scientific claims and attuned to the influence of culture on science. This trans-disciplinary book provides a framework for both biological and social scientists to think about the values and assumptions that have guided their disciplines' perspectives on the maternal body and infant health." * Metascience *“[Richardson’s] compelling interpretation cleanly cuts through the posited difference between genetics and epigenetics, ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ heredity. Far from challenging genetic determinism, epigenetic pregnancy research ‘advances a model of human inheritance and development in which the wider social and physical environment can be seen as heritable and as determinant of future biomedical outcomes.’ Constructions of epigenetics as bridging the gap between social and biological processes resonate widely in STS and gender studies, even among critical scholars; Richardson’s book is a thought-provoking intervention.” * Isis *“Richardson’s book is rigorous, entertaining, informative, and politically important.” * Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal *“Academically robust and meticulously researched, The Maternal Imprint is a pleasurable and engaging read that will appeal to a wide audience, including the public and undergraduate students.” * Childhood in the Past *"A rich, elegantly argued analysis of the long history of scientific and popular thinking about 'maternal effects' on the fetuses that women gestate, full of well-articulated plunges into the archives of scientific texts and journals in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This is an important, beautifully researched, and well-written book by an author whose prior works have literally changed their fields." -- Rayna Rapp, New York University"Richardson reveals that epigenetics is not just the newest cutting-edge, pro-social, plasticity-favoring, anti-genetic, and anti-reductionist field to emerge from modern molecular genetics. Rather, it is also the vector of newly problematic images and social roles that limit women and diminish the status of pregnancy and motherhood, in ways that are disturbingly similar to nineteenth-century societal notions of women's roles. Richardson's exquisitely documented arguments will be compelling to all with an interest in the complex interface of science and society." -- Michael J. Wade, Indiana University"This is a major contribution from a feminist STS scholar who deftly interweaves scientific, epistemological, and ethical considerations into a tour-de-force book on a topic with implications for mothers, families, and communities." -- Alexandra Minna Stern, author of Eugenic Nation: Faults and Frontiers of Better Breeding in Modern AmericaTable of Contents1.

The University of Chicago Press Partial Stories Maternal Death from Six Angles
Book SynopsisTrade Review“A well-written, compelling, dynamic narrative that broadens and complicates readers’ understanding of the contributing causes and impacts of maternal mortality. . . . Highly recommended.” * Choice *“Partial Stories offers a new narrative about maternal death in Africa by undermining ‘the notion that any of the single stories we already think we know is definitive.’ . . . The care Wendland put into thinking about how to tell the stories she shares is evident throughout.” * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *“I really enjoyed reading this book. . . . It’s a book that, to me, speaks to the reader’s humanity at least as much as it speaks to their intellect.” * New Books Network *"Written by an ethnographer and obstetrician, this wide-ranging and comprehensive book offers a much more nuanced picture of maternal deaths and maternal health than much of the literature on critical global health can do—and it does so out of a commitment and an expertise, yet also a humility and curiosity that is often lacking in critical global health scholarship. It fills an important gap." -- Ruth Jane Prince, University of Oslo"At last maternal mortality, that raging topic in obstetric, global health, and epidemiology circles, receives the sophisticated, complex, qualitative, and nuanced treatment it has long deserved. By emphasizing partialities and sharing stories, this anthropology offers up an important set of diagnostics about why so many poor, black, African women still die in pregnancy and childbirth, and how these death scenes unfold and what they conceal." -- Nancy Rose Hunt, author of A Colonial Lexicon: Of Birth Ritual, Medicalization, and Mobility in the CongoTable of ContentsIntroductionBonnex Kaunda: “There are too many goings-on these days.” 1 Dangerous ModernitiesAgnesi Kunjirima: “You can make your pregnancy safe.” 2 Knowing BodiesLillian Siska: “I help them right here at home.” 3 Ambivalent TechnologiesChimwemwe Bruce: “Changes, yes, but no development.” 4 Abundant ScarcityRhoda Nantongwe: “By the time she comes to the hospital, it is too late.” 5 Countless AccountingsDyna Ng’ong’ola and Kettie Pensulo: “Women in this community are very much concerned.” 6 Fragile Authority Conclusion Glossary of Chichewa Terms Key People and Places Abbreviations Acknowledgments References Notes Index

Harvard University Press Disembodying Women
Book SynopsisIn Disembodying Women, Barbara Duden takes a closer look at this contemporary transformation of women's experience of pregnancy. She suggests that advances in technology and parallel changes in public discourse have refrained pregnancy as a managed process, the mother as an ecosystem, and the fetus as an endangered species.Trade ReviewIn a world of victim profiles, suspect typologies, life cycle projections, reasonable men, and talking fetuses, Barbara Duden puts the living body back into its skin, rescuing our humanity from the fragmenting tyranny of the actuarial self. -- Patricia Williams, School of Law, Columbia University

Rutgers University Press Patient Citizens Immigrant Mothers Mexican Women
Book SynopsisAccording to the Latina health paradox, Mexican immigrant women have less complicated pregnancies and more favourable birth outcomes than many other groups, in spite of socioeconomic disadvantage. This takes us from inside the halls of a busy metropolitan hospital’s public prenatal clinic to the Oaxaca and Puebla states in Mexico to look at the ways Mexican women manage their pregnancies.Trade Review"Alyshia Galvez challenges conventional wisdom on how Latinas plan families, making a very important contribution to understanding the Latino health paradox." -- Peter J. Guarnaccia, Ph.D. * Institute for Health, Health Care Policy & Aging Research, Rutgers University *"This wonderful book demonstrates how immigrant knowledge is rendered irrelevant by the New York City medical establishment, and contributes to our understanding of large-scale transnational immigration issues examined through the lens of gender, pregnancy, and reproduction." -- Rayna Rapp * author, Testing Women, Testing the Fetus: the Social Impact of Amniocentesis in *"For years, health professionals have been intrigued by the so-called 'birth-weight paradox'—the fact that recently arrived Mexican immigrant women have fewer pregnancy complications and fewer low-birth-weight babies than their socioeconomic status would predict. Galvez casts the large New York City public hospital prenatal clinic at which she did her interviews as a site of 'subjectification'—the molding of Mexican immigrant women and their families into racialized, needy, passive subjects of medicalization, state intervention, and monitoring. In large part, the women submit because of their own narratives of bettering themselves by their move to the US. This brief description cannot do justice to the richness of Galvez's analysis and the complexity of the women's negotiations with the US health care system.
